Spurs players and Spurs Sports and Entertainment (SS&E) staff will serve Thanksgiving dinner to families, give out holiday gifts to kids, provide families with decorated Christmas trees and much more.\u00a0To make these community moments possible, the Spurs are teaming up with nonprofits and partners, including Elf Louise Christmas Project, Goodwill, H-E-B, JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort and Spa, Methodist Healthcare and Methodist Healthcare Ministries, Randolph-Brooks Federal Credit Union (RBFCU)\u00a0and San Antonio Food Bank.<\/p>\n
Each effort aims to amplify and celebrate the impactful contributions made by our community partners and organizations who serve our communities each day. Last season, Spurs Season of Giving events reached more than 10 different zip codes, including the donation of more than 5,000 turkeys,\u00a0toys\u00a0and other household necessities. Season of Giving exemplifies SS&E\u2019s commitment to community impact, fostering connections among players, partners,\u00a0staff\u00a0and families in the places where we live, learn,\u00a0work\u00a0and play. Throughout Season of Giving, Spurs players will also lead individual efforts to spread holiday cheer and connect with families across San Antonio.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe holidays can be a difficult time for many families, especially this year as some face added challenges,\u201d said Patricia Mejia, Chief\u00a0Impact\u00a0and Inclusion Officer at SS&E. \u201cSeason of Giving is about meeting our community where they are, extending a hand, sharing joy and helping ensure every family feels supported and seen.\u201d<\/p>\n
